		<description>Dear Limkamput,

They say "hatred can blind a man ". Exactly that is the plague that consumes you.

However, you are right for once. You indeed are not able to see anything good in MCA. Yes dear, hatred does have a potent force. It can blind people. 

You cant see or refuse to see. The truth is that you consider any alliance with UMNO is a sign of weakness. MCA just takes a practical view. It accepts the reality of the situation. It recognises the supremacy of UMNO simply as Malays forms the largest group in Malaysia. Naturally the political power is in their hands.

Whatever condemnation you have against BN, you cant deny that your much cherished political party is not in any way provides a credible alternative. DAP only appeals to a section of Chinese community. 

Tell the truth. Which better represent the true face of Malaysia from Malay to Iban to Bidayuh to Chinese to Melanau races:BN or DAP?

Worse still, hiding behind whatever good practises, DAP is known as "father and son "co. So, it does not practise what it preaches.It consistently maintains a very anti-Malay attitudes. 

And I never deny contribution of non Malays. I recognises good traits among Chinese. They are good in financial planning as compared to Malays. But surely this does not give anyone any right to condemn any race.

As for the over used Ketuanan Melayu, I do not use the word. Neither the word is used among Malay politicians. What I heard from Malay politicians is that they remind Malays that Malay have themselves to be blamed should they lose political power.

It is actually a natural process.  Malay political power is due to the demography. Just like the WASP concept in USA. White Anglo Saxon Protestant, being the largest group has the most influence in politics as compared to ,say Latinos or Asian Americans. 

And I see no reason to belittle a race that maintains supremacy in politics. At least in this planet. Just like Singapore is likely to have only Chinese Prime Minister. Malaysia is likely to have a Malay Prime Minister.</description>

		<description>Yes. I am being honest and I am touching and searching my heart and I just can't find any good in MCA.  Because of MCA ever willing to sell their soul, that is why  Malaysia today has become a third world nation with UMNO exercises full political, social, cultural and religious hegemony on others, promote mediocrity, inculcate incompetence and corruption. If only MCA can see what PAP saw when PAP was in Malaysia, today this country would have become a little Switzerland in Asia, with every race including the Malays self assured, confident and dynamic in facing the world. Yes, because of MCA colluding with UMNO, Malays today have become permanent aids recipients while many Chinese have to migrate to seek opportunity and excel elsewhere.  Do you know if not for Malaysian Chinese in Singapore, Singapore today would have been nothing? Do you know that a vast majority of the specialists in Singapore hospitals are Malaysians or former Malaysians?  Look, I think you have to tell your fellow country men that the time has come where all races must earn their own upkeep. The earlier you do it; the better is for your community.  The system we have does not promote efficiency both among the Malays and the non Malays.  Chinese from MCA and Gerakan and Indian from MIC are half-bake non Malays.  The good ones will never be subservient to those who are less competent them. If UMNO genuinely want to see progress and development in this country, you have no choice but to work with more clever non Malays. You have to face the cold hard fact. Malays alone (and even working with half bake Chinese and Indians) are just not good enough to bring prosperity and development to this country which is increasingly facing pressure and challenges from a rapidly globalising world.  Wake up my friend; it is not that the Non Malays hate ketuanan Melayu. The race supremacy thing is simply not in sync with the modern world. As far as I know, no race in the world today claims to be more supreme than others. Even South Africa during apartheid has never claimed supremacy. They just set apart the white and the black.  Ketuanan Melayu must go.  Read my lips; go it must because it is a third world tribal mentality concept.  Many Malays are now university professors, wearing three piece suits and driving BMWs and Mercz, but mentality wise, I am not too sure.   You could one of those in this category, judging from the many postings you wrote earlier â€“ a clever person caught in a third world mentality.</description>

		<description>Dear Limkamput,

A few questions for you:
1) Why Hindraf did not mention that the temple in question was demolished after Deepavali ?

2) Why Hindraf did not tell the Indians that the number of temples in Selangor itself is more than the number of masjid and suraus put together. Mind you, Indian population in Selangor is roughly a quarter to that of the Malay community.

And what is wrong by highlighting the contribution of MCA. You want condemn MCA as a stooge of UMNO, but please remember thousands of Malaysians benefits from UTAR. 

Mr Limkamput, cant you see anything good in MCA? I mean I know you feel any Chinese party that is in alliance with UMNO must be bad. For once, search youtr heart, remove the hatred. 

Cant you see any good deed by MCA for once in your life? FOr one, be honest, for your sake.</description>

		<description>If the people decide to give a thumping victory to the BN parties, then they should not blame other but themselves for whatever injustices to be inflicted moving forward.

So this is the time of reckoning.</description>

		<description>And to say that comparison cannot be made between apple and grapes, why not ? Boduwhi , we can compare apples Vs grapes , with science , we can compare the vitamins and mineral content of both and similarly with 2 different countries so many parameters can be compared with., 
      Maybe he would have been happier if comparison of Malaysia were made between Malawi or Afganistan, then maybe we wud have come out tops. 
      If things like meritobumi (unlike meritcracy)continues democracy in this country will become doomacracy and put the country even backwards, stay tuned.</description>
